OUTRAGEOUS NAIL SERVICE.

The cry is growing stronger and more
frequent from all parts of Kansas, against
the inefficient and outrageous mall service OF
the present administration. A lot OF mex
perienced men and boys have been in
stalled in the places Of experienced route
agents and expert mailing clerks not only,
but no attention is paid to the growth OF
the state and its increasing demands.
Daily papers are being forced to employ
the express companies. Two hundred
copies of last Tuesdays EAGLE, which
contained syonpsis Of the proposed IN
provemenis in this city, for the coming
year were mailed to Topeka for the MEM
beers of the legislature and state officers.
Those papers, Representative Hatfield IN
forms us have never reached the men for
whom they were intended, although letters
and telegr were both sent notifying the
parties t. whom they were consigned. The
failure TO deliver those papers is not only
al outrage upon us but an injury to our
city in whose interest the papers were sent.
In truth that edition was especially gotten
out for the purpose of impurting 10 the
representative men of the state some idea of
the importance of our city, nine out OF ten
of whom have never been here. Personally
we would not have had the miscarriage for
five hundred dollars.

VALUE OF ADVERTISING.
The Most Reliable Way OF Achieving Sue

-~~-N--~
cess In Business
Since the invention of printing with
types, which dates back further than
the days Of Gutenberg. there has been
no time when the advantages of adyer-
tising were more fully understood and
appreciated than atpresent. The BEN
etits derived from a judicious use Of
printers ink have been so obvious III 40
1t has come TO be a recognized axiom
among business men that the more lib
orally it is used, the greater becomes
the chances OF winning success. Oh
course there are isolated cases, in
which men who have won prosperity
without its aid will scout at the idea Of
its proving valuable auxiliary to
others. 1t will be found on inspection.
however. that these fossils, for your
true opponent of advertising is neces-
sarily an Anticipated man, thoroughly
incrusted with prejudices, have sue
ceeded by pure luck, and not through
the exercise of any special talents pos
sessed by them. On the other hand,
which men of sense, aided by the pub
licity afforded by newspaper advertis-
ing, have been enabled TO reverse the
rulings of fate, which would have, had
they quietly acquiesced, relegated them
to the obscurity of failure.
The history of the successful business
men of this country is so pregnant
with tributes to advertising that the
first attempt to give collection OF
biographical sketches of those who had
won fame and fortune in the ranks OF
trade was made by n firm devoted en-
tirely to the profession of securing adj
vertiscments and having the same pub
lished. 1t is singular fact that this
series of biographies embrace the names
of nearly all the prominent men who
have amassed wealth as merchants,
manufacturers or professionals; and
undoubted evidences are presented
with each sketch that no small part OF
their good fortune was owing to their
shrewdneSs in attracting public atten-
ton to their business, through the me-
dunn Of the press. Such striking ln'
stances of success as are rehearsed in
the volume referred to could not do
otherwise than carry conviction to all
minds ready to receive sensible impress
sions; and therefore we are afforded
the spectacle of all classes eagerly
striving to gain the greatest possible
publicity, not always, however, at the
greatest possible cost. Indeed, the OPP
posite is sometimes the case. The
newly-fledged advertiser often dcvotes
his attention to circumventing the
business office of newspaper. But
the regular, legitimate and persistent
advertiser learns and appreciates the
value of such publicity, and willingly
pays the cost in established journals

are the writers who go fishing with the
